UPDATE
November 2006
2006 has been the 25th Anniversary year for WIPI. It all started
in September 1981 when a small group of women came together to share
their photographs and begin to realize a career in photography was the direction
and goal of their future. Today, many of those women have continued and created
programs as scholars, independents and artists. We are happy that over the years,
many of the women have returned in various positions and many of their photo careers
have expanded and they have received incredible recognition for their work.
The Turning
Silver Slide Show is fine example of B/W and alternative images
that are part of the Kodak.com Classic photo book project. Also see
the Exhibitor
list of both the Juror 100 and Honorable Mention. Our jury of fine
professionals chose a selection of incredible work. We are grateful
for their contribution to WIPI and Turing Silver.
Beauty, Camera Eye of the Beholder was uploaded in November 2005 carried
us into 2006.
The San
Diego Museum of Photographic Art had a powerful exhibition through the
summer called, ..... Our Charter Member Madison J. Rink traveled to
San Diego and provided us with her experience on meeting one of our
Distinguished Photographer's Grace Robertson along with Stephanie Sinclair

We want
to thank our very special sponsors this year, Epson America, Kodak, Fresh Lists,
Dradock FotoQuote, ...... for their contributions. Kodak provided several of WIPI
members with the incredible opportunity to have an exhibit as well as extended
opportunities for some in an article in as well as photo showcases at Photokina.
As we close 2006 and our 25th Anniversary, we recognize that our files are
a wonderful archive of women's work from around the world. Researchers, collectors,
gallery owners, historians, photographers all visit our website and cull information
on the photographers listed and showcased. Many of WIPI's photographers have enjoyed
the extended opportunities that have been provided by their membership.
As a non-profit
organization who's goal is to promote the visibility of women working
in photography. During 2007 we will predominately focus on WIPI member work, either
work by them or stories they have to tell about their inspiration and ideas. We
will do a variety of online presentations, so stay tuned. stop back
to see us again shortly.
